Good MorningEquity markets may go wild on Friday after the NFP report is released. The report is expected to show steady job gains, low unemployment, and rising wages that may keep the FOMC from cutting rates in 2025. Inflation continues to run hot, and Trump's policies are expected to keep that trend in place, but there is a silver lining for the market. The forces driving inflation include demand and consumer spending which are both good for stock prices. The S&P 500 may experience volatility in this scenario, but the uptrend is intact, and new highs are likely.
Next week brings another reason for investors to prepare for volatility. The peak of Q4 earnings reporting kicks off with reports from the big banks, and the expectations are high. Financials are expected to lead the S&P 500 for earnings growth, and the estimates are rising. The latest readings have a consensus of nearly 40%, with whisper figures expecting strength.
